The Reign of Grace

"God's grace is given freely and undeservedly, but not without intent and implications.  We dare not try to privatize or domesticate the significance of God's grace.  We have been called into a dynamic love affair--one that gives more than we could have ever hoped, and demands more than we would freely give.  

To receive God's grace in Christ is to be brought into a revolutionary reign, not ushered into a quiet rest home!   God's love is as disruptive as it is delightful, as demanding as it is delicious!   God loves us exactly as we are today, but He loves us too much to leave us as we are and where we are."

Scotty Smith, The Reign of Grace
